Approved
Design Partner

IBEX is an approved Microchip Design Partner. Microchip are the one of the worlds largest microcontroller manufacturers.

Embedded Software Development

We are specialist embedded designers with a huge amount of experience designing products utilising everything from very low cost 8 bit microcontroller's to incredibly powerful 16 and 32 bit processors. The range of embedded devices available today is vast with the cost vs performance equation having become less and less of a factor in new product designs. Combined with falling prices in other technology areas, such as displays, we are able to design increasingly sophisticated devices with the lower and lower production costs.

We've built up massive libraries of working software modules over the years, allowing us to provide extremely competitive quotes for many projects. Our in house services include assembler, C, C++ and C# embedded software development.

Open Source Hardware
Development

Open Source Hardware Development

Open source hardware is a great solution for lots of one off and specialist projects, but it often needs some level of bespoke electronics and software drivers adding for a specific task. We design for open source hardware platforms such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi and we are able to quickly and cheaply design hardware add on's and software drivers for client projects. This can either be as a complete finished solution or to allow your own onward in-house development. If you are looking at open source hardware for an upcoming project why not use our expertise to do the complex or specialist low level hardware side for you and ensure it is designed correctly. We can even write the basic template software for you, allowing you to get on with your main software functionality.

We also contribute a great deal of our knowledge and resources back to the community through open sourcing and publishing many of our company’s internal notes and libraries. You can see some of our open source resources here.

We have the excellent Citrix GoToMeeting system for individual or group meetings. Using your internet browser you are able to view our computer screen live and share your screen with us. It's brilliant for initial concept discussions, talking through designs and live tweaking of designs to your requirements as you watch. It's also a great aid when resolving issues with overseas suppliers and manufacturers.

Skype video calls. Yes everyone has Skype, but call us on Skype and we'll always answer with video. There's no need to send video from your end if you don't have a camera or are having a bad hair day.

Wide Ranging Experience

Over the years we have designed many different types of equipment. The demands of our clients are extremely diverse and we pride ourselves on being able to provide the solution for virtually any project. This has lead us to deal with many technologies, in many different fields.
